1. Wasting and weakness of the small muscles of the hand and partial clawing of the ring and little finger caused by ulnar nerve palsy.
2. The deformity and disability: extent of the disability is dependent on the site of the lesion.
3. Numbness and tingling along the little finger and ulnar half of the ring finger, often linked with a weakened grip, and particularly when the patient rests on or flexes the elbow.
4. Pain and tenderness at the level of the cubital tunnel.
5. Loss of grip and pinch strength and loss of fine dexterity in patients with chronic ulnar neuropathy.
